Good Stuff

Where do you keep the good stuff?

You know, the really good stuff

Not this, this straightforward

No nonsense, stream of consciousness

Unfiltered and unplanned

Where are the depths?

Where are the times of wrestling

With a line until you have it

Under control, beaten into submission

That’s the stuff I want to see

A side of you that you’ve kept

Hidden from me

Is that what makes it good?

The time that it took?

What if time is a construct

With everything that has happened or

Will happen taking place now

Don’t sweat the small stuff

Speak your truth, write it down and walk away

It’s all good stuff

Thoughts

These poems don’t take long to write. Which begs the question: do you have to sweat blood in order to produce great art? I don’t think I’ll ever need to worry about that but I like Paul McCartney’s thought process. When he and John sat down to write, it would take around three hours and they would have something at the end of it. You can really see this in action the Get Back documentary where the eponymous song appears out of thin air.

I made a number of pictures using tiny pictures in a mosaic. They took ages. I might share them on day.
